Related: About this forumCanada doing the mask thing again but no mandate. This is to try and
relieve Children's hospitals from being over-run with the flu, respiratory virus and covid. I never stopped. Come on people.

They went out together for Halloween and boom ! by Wednesday all were sick
The baby was tested and was positive so we had to assume all had it.
Luckily they are all recovering now.
I mask everywhere I go

(11,917 posts)which is compounding the problem. I know if I see children's Tylenol or Advil I will pick it up. My D-I-L was trying to get some for infants and the pharmacists will mix it for her for $35.00 at Shoppers. I went to a small drug store near my home and got it mixed by the pharmacist and a bigger amount for $17.00. It will expire in January but at least she has some on hand. People really need to shop around for a good price.

(18,570 posts)We even cancelled our (American) Thanksgiving travel plans to see friends and family in California because there were just too many people we would come in contact with, and no effective, unawkward way to assess the risks when in close contact with them.
Instead, well go to Portland and see my son, daughter-in-law and our new grandchild. Just three people who would happily test if symptomatic or had a known exposure.
Here in BC, I doubt well see a significant increase in mask wearing, but its not impossible.
